Speaking of the devil. My whole team comes into the dining hall pilling food onto their plate and heads our way. There are a few chairs open next to me and in front of me. Xavier comes and sits next to me and the whole team spreads out in the empty seats. I feel cornered again and want to leave. As I want to stand up Xavier grabs my hand, his eyes pleading me to stay. I give in to his request and sit completely still.“I am sorry I did not mean to go off on you like that and I am sorry for looking when you said no. That was unacceptable and I hope you can forgive me. That is not the team leader I am, and I am sorry if I hurt you. Just know that we are here when and if you want to talk. I don’t know why I lost my temper like that. But something we need to discuss is the fact that you were able to resist my Alpha aura. That has never happened to me I know your parents were Alphas but even they would have submitted” he says in a low voice looking embarrassed.“Maybe it’s because she is a
“It’s okay, let it all out. You’ll get through this. You are stronger than what you think. We are a team here and we help each other heal through things. You are not alone, this is your family now” he soothes me gently and holds me tight against him.I just nod and wipe my tears from my cheeks. His scent is comforting right now and I feel connected to him in a way I can’t explain. I think of the twins in his presence and it almost makes me break down again. I miss them so much. They were my best friends and I know they were older than me but I loved them and never thought I would have to go a day without having them in my life. I wonder how they’re taking the news of me being here.Xavier holds me until my breathing levels and I stop crying completely. He keeps rubbing my back in soothing circles and his aura is comforting. I feel safe in his arms, I have no idea what is going on between the two of us but I don’t have the energy to even ask and dissect it so I just push it to the back
“Fuck my head hurts!” I groan and sit up. The rest of my team is still unconscious. Why am I the first to wake up? What happened, I can't remember passing out.“I am not surprised to see you awake first.” The Alpha King laughs.“How are you feeling little one?” Kylo asks.“I am okay thanks, I expected it to hurt more.” I groaned and held my head that is still spinning and pounding a bit.“Ugh... wow I hate this part.” Xavier groans sitting up next to me.“When everyone is awake you need to go back to your rooms and sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day for everyone.” Kylo says.Everyone starts waking up slowly and we wait for everyone to stand up so we can head back to our rooms. When we get to our rooms Xavier quickly works out a shower schedule so we can all shower before our gym session tomorrow morning. He works out our workout routine and writes it on his phone for tomorrow morning. It feels strange following orders like this, but on the other hand, this is thrilling. I am excited t
“You can go shower I am done” she says with a smile.“Thanks, girl” I say getting my pajamas from my closet and heading to the shower. In the shower I see Someone has allocated a whole section to me, with the shea butter body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, I have a brand-new razor and a luffa. Wow someone did a lot of effort to make me feel at home. I wash up and brush my teeth before going back to my room, I tell everyone “Good night” as I close my door and fall onto my fluffy cloud of a bed. I instantly fall asleep exhaustion taking over. The next morning an annoying sound wakes me from my dreamless sleep, and I get up for my shower. I take a pair of black leggings, a black t-shirt, my Nikes, and a black sweatshirt with the logo of the Alpha Kings Elite Warriors logo on it. I head to the shower and make quick work of showering, dressing, and putting my hair in a quick braid so it stays out of my face. This time when I look in the mirror I almost jump as I don’t recognize myself. I
“Well done, Sav, did not expect you to be that strong considering how tiny you are” Ozzy laughs.“Yeah, you definitely surprised me” Nathanial adds.“I think you have competition Gabs and Kiara.” Chris says with a smirk.“You’re like a little beast.” Gabi mumbles. “I need to step up my game, I did not see that coming” she says blushing.We all laughed and ate our breakfast. When we were done the entire hall went outside to start with sparring. The team is up randomly so we don’t get used to the same partners, it helps so we don’t get comfortable and slack. This helps you prepare for a fight since you don’t know your opponent’s when it’s an actual fight. I am paired with a girl with black hair and blue ocean eyes. We start by circling each other to assess our opponents and then she lunges I move to defense and dodge her lunges since she is way taller than me, I grab her ankle and twist around making her fall face first. She kicks me in the face, and I fall back, I quickly recover jump
“Wow, Sav I did not see that coming, I shouldn’t have underestimated you and should have gone for the kill.” He laughs.“You should never underestimate your opponent Xavier but well done little one, you impressed me today” Kylo says as he approaches us.I am breathless and probably as red as a tomato I don’t know how I managed to do this today. But I have more endurance than I thought. I can feel all my muscles cramping and I am exhausted. Xavier helps me up and we go to the sauna to steam and then plunge into an ice bath to help our muscles recover faster than it normally would. Its lunch time by the time we are done. The same omega gives me a plate filled to the brim with beef tacos and a protein shake.“What is your name? Sorry, I am only asking now.” I ask with a sad smile.“My name is Kate, I will be bringing you your extra food and shakes, I hope you enjoy them” she smiles kindly.“Thanks, Kate, everything has been delicious so far I appreciate the effort you're putting in.” I s
We start running and Ozzy throws Xavier to the top of the wall, Xavier leans his lower half down the wall to catch the next person and Ozzy throws Chris up, Chris does the same as Xavier, Nathanial is next and he holds onto Chris, and Xavier’s legs to stabilize them, Gabi goes up next. Gabi stands behind Chris and keeps watch on the other teams.“Move guys we are ahead, keep moving, we got this” Gabi shouts from the top.I move to Ozzy, and he throws me up next, Xavier and Chris catch both my hands and pull me up the rest of the way. Kiara is thrown next, Nat lowers himself so Xavier and Chris are holding onto his legs, Ozzy jumps and Nathanial catches him and Ozzy climbs him like a tree to the top. We all help the guys bring Nathanial back up and move on to the monkey bars. We all move across as quickly as possible and jump for the platform at the end, I jump, and Xavier catches me just before I fall. We then move onto the ropes and swing to get to the platform the guys jump down the
“WHAT THE FUCK! I thought you said that was your only scars and brands, why did you lie to me?” Xavier yells at me.“Well, these are a bit private, and seriously why the fuck do you care, it’s not like you’re my mate or something!!” I yell right back at him.“Well, we won’t know even if I was because of the branding we got, but I do fucken care and I want to fucken kill the person who did this to you!!” He yells in my face.“Get in line Sunshine, I have fucken dibs,” I yell and turn and walk out slamming the door behind me.I walk to the pool and ignore all the people staring at me. The water felt amazing on my sore muscles. Everyone was laughing and splashing around in the pool. I just dipped my head under and swam to the other side that looked at the forest. The full moon is approaching, and I am going to need to shift soon. I put my arms outside the pool cross them and lower my head on them.“I am sorry again, I don’t know why I keep losing my shit. I just hate that someone did thi
“Then I need to Skype with you each week to check in on your mental space. Otherwise, we are pulling you out of the mission. We need to know that you are stable and won't compromise the mission. We don’t think you will because of the council being on our asses about sending you” Dr Ashley says.“That’s okay I don’t mind doing it, I feel like I have this under control and that I am slowly getting myself back thanks to the team” I smile at them all.It’s true, well partly. I haven’t recovered, but honestly who would? But the team is helping me feel normal again. But I am not telling them that.“If you need any of us you just have to mind link us and we'll help in any way we can. You are one strong young lady.” Alpha King Leonard says.“That’s all for now, go and have some dinner and rest. Tomorrow will be a long day for all of you.” Kylo says and I get up and walk out of the room.I make my way to the dining hall, but I am stopped by April, just great. This is what I need right now. Thi
“I know my way around a kitchen.” Ozzy says in a low voice.We all burst out laughing. I did not see that coming. My tummy is hurting from laughter and tears are running down my face.“I know a bit about a kitchen too but not enough that I can say I will make dinner. I can make pasta and sandwiches so I can cover lunch.” Gabriella says through her laughter.“Okay there are a few restaurants we can hit up that are close to our house otherwise well just have to get a few recipe books and learn how to cook. We eat too much for human’s to not get suspicious. They laundry schedule well just have to work out when we are there” Zavier says trying to speak through his laughter.We work out a few other kinks in the plan and then head down stair for dinner. Kylo is waiting at the stairs for us and motions for me to follow him.We go into one of the interrogation rooms where Alpha King Leonard and Dr Ashley are waiting.“We did not mean to corner you like this but, Dr Ashley needs to speak to yo
“Great work guys give me the list before dinner, I need lists on supplies you’ll need like clothes, weapons and toiletries” He says before turning away from us.“You got it.” I say and start getting my personal list together.It took three hours for us all to get everything together and discuss what we’ll need. Everyone did their homework thoroughly.“Quick summary from each team, so we are all on the same page. Gabi and Nat what do you have?” Xavier asks as we all sit around on the couches.“I will get my mom’s spell book tomorrow so I can learn some and start making potions for scent masking, cloaking ability and I know there are some I can use to give us hearing and smelling like Lycans. Nat will get all the herbs and plants we need and stock up on them, so we don’t have to worry about it for the three months we are there. We’ll have to get new supplies when we get to the new location though. I need to work with Sav as well so we’ll have to squeeze in session at night.”“I will hav
“Yes, boss man.” We all say in unison.We get to work and me and Chris looking at the maps and get number on how much equipment we will need. There is a lot of planning that needs to go into this, and we have our work cut out for us. I am so excited to go on my first mission, but there are still other things that my brain keeps worrying about like school, Alpha Duncan, how my friends and family are doing. Did my brothers and the twins go on missions as well. Are they all fine? I have no idea, but I can’t focus on things like that right now I need to keep my head on the mission and trust that everything else will work out.“We have the numbers on how much cameras and bugs we need, I can make cameras that are smaller and undetectable the bugs I make are also really small, and the quality is unmatched. It will just take time assembling and programing them. I will need your help programming them all Sav. Do you have a system in place that we can use to link everything with Sav?” Chris ask
“When do you expect us to depart?” Xavier asks.“Not this coming Friday but the Friday after that.” Alpha King Leonard says.“That doesn’t leave us a lot of time” Xavier says exhaling deeply.“No, it doesn’t, but we believe in you all so I know you will make the most of your time preparing and heading into this mission with determination.” Alpha King Leonard says standing. “We have a few files here that you can go over, it has info on the people killed or taken and where the murders and kidnappings happened, there are a few maps in there too that you can go over so long to come up with a game plan” he sya buttoning his jacket back up “This is instructor Lee and Reggie, they will brief you on the bodies we have found, and they are both trackers for the Kingdom so they will be working with Savannah for the next two weeks, the rest of your instructors will meet you in the common area tomorrow morning. I need you all ready by 5am” He says and turns to walk out the door.“Yes, Alpha King.”
“So first off, I just want to say that you guys have surprised me on how well you all work as a team and I have high hopes for this group. The mission is as follow; We are sending you to the human town where the most people have been taken, they are targeting young woman form what we have gathered from the reports. We don’t think it is random anymore, so never leave any of the girls alone. There is a college in the city that has the most paranormal activity. I will have you all enrolled in programs, so we have close eyes on what is happening there. We are sending you alone out there so I will need daily reports on what you find and if there is anything suspicious going on. We already got a house ready for you with a big backyard so you can continue training. There is a gym close by that I want you all to go to since there has been rogues sittings there. Savannah, I tried enrolling you at the university, but your age is a problem for them, but I secured you a job at the coffee shop on
The rest of the week go by uneventful, we get in a routine and we start function like a unit. We have started on our training for the warrior’s games and our prep work for our first op. I started working with one of Kylo’s teammates, who helps me with my hacking skill and shows me how he gets his intel on people. I learn so much and am exhausted by the time Sunday rolls by. I have never worked so much in my life, even training with my brothers and the guys have never been this exhausting. My body aches. Its Sunday morning and I take my shower like every other morning and when everyone is ready, we head to the gym for our workout session.“I like the improvements I see in this team, I would like everyone to meet me in briefing room A after lunch.” Kylo says. He spots me every morning in the gym and helps me grow my muscles. I have seen the change in the last week and I almost look the same as I did before I was taken. We head outside for our sparring session and then after that we go f
We all sit down in our living room and Xavier is pacing back and forth looking agitated. We just stare at him and sit still. No one says a wonder. He stops and puts his hands on the back of the couch where Nathanial, Chris and Kiara are sitting.“What happened when you were kidnapped?” he asks through gritted teeth trying to stay calm but failing miserably.I exhale slowly and try to calm myself. “There was a lot of things that happened but the main thing they did was inject me with different concoctions. It usually persisted of silver, wolfsbane and mistletoe. The concoctions would knock me out for a few days, but they would wake me through burning me with different things or beating the shir out of me. There were other methods they used that I am not comfortable enough to discuss with you all. They branded me as you guys saw and burned me with a metal rod. They would put silver powder on my wounds that’s why it left scars, but it also prevented the wounds from closing, so I was alwa
“April, your back.” Xavier says awkwardly and scratches the back of his neck.“Do you want to sit with us baby?” She bats her eyes at him as she lets go and stare up into his face.“No, I am sitting with my team we have things to discuss.” He answers with no emotion.“This is Savannah, she is a new member of our team.” He points at me and I give a small wave.She looks down at me since she is way taller than me and pulls a face. She looks disgusted with me. “Oh, I didn’t know they let children join the program now. Who did you sleep with to get here little girl?” She asks with venom in her voice. Fuck I want to punch this bitch in the face right about now.“What the fuck April, get lost. You will not talk to my teammates like that” Xavier says throwing his arm over my shoulder and leads us to the buffet. I take my plate and shake from Kate and give her a hug again. We sit in our usual spot.“That was April, Xavier’s biggest fan. She thinks they are mates and won’t leave him alone, lik
